Default HELP!! Panasonic PV-C-2060 Picture going dim and colors getting Very Weak!

.....And on top of that the remote is lost so I don't know how to access the
Serviceman codes without it.
TV was assembled Jan 2000. Cost over $350 and hasn't had a lot of use.
I hate to spend $45 on a new remote just to find out that there's more to it
than just being able to "adjust" it back into presentable working condition.
There are no "obviously" burnt components or blown-up capacitors.
Shouldn't my Dish Network # 103602 remote work with this TV???
Is there any way to "cheat" the remote circuitry to make it act like it
would if I actually had the remote???
Any ideas?? May be it didn't like being moved?? (Not very far!)
Best regards, Joe S. Please E-Mail directly
Thanks

You will need the original factory remote. Universal remotes will not work
with more than the very basic functions.

Capacitors do not have to be physically blown to bits, or resistors looking
like they came off the BBQ to be defective, or the set reeking of dead fish
smells, to have failed parts. Most failures of components are not visible to
the eye. The only way to know what the defects are, is to properly
troubleshoot the set.

Why not take the set in for a proper estimate at a reputable shop, to be
able to make a proper decision about what to do.
